oh yeah, Cinco...

As today is a holiday popularly celebrated by getting plastered, I will offer the following advice:

Do not under any circumstances purchase Bacardi's watermelon rum. It is disgusting and vile. If I could give rum to the chickens, the remainder of the bottle would have been poured on the ground in the coop last week when I tried it.

It is the essence of artificial ewww and is kind of like jolly rancher candies distilled and made into alcohol. If that sounds like something you'd like, trust me, it really isn't.

Sorry, I know I'm posty today. Distracting myself from the burn in my legs, pedal pedal pedal. Besides, it's a public service announcement. Not to warn you would be mean.

Augh! *shudder* VERY FEW are the flavors allowed to pollute rum.

Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay - Coconut is quite passable. It's not... RUM, exactly, but then... I'm very fond of rrrrrummmm. And I'm just having a little reminder sample, over ice, and... mmm. It's a good thing, regardless.

Coconut rum is yummy, and I like the Bacardi orange rum lots. But this stuff is beyond awful.

Ooooh. I do love orange... don't think I've had the orange rump. I'll have to try that.

Watermelon is one of those ephemeral flavors that just... needs to be in a watermelon to work.

I like it quite a lot. Mixed with ginger ale is extra nice.

Had I realized it was watermelon when I bought it, I wouldn't have; when I read 'Grand Melon' I thought of Midori, which is my favorite alcamaholy thing, and didn't read the label.

I tried it so y'all don't have to!
